The emergency services and Armed Forces will come together for a fun demonstration of how they protect and serve in Cleethorpes this weekend.

The coastguard helicopter landing at the Lower Kingsway will be one of the highlights of Blue Light Day which will also feature live demonstrations and the chance to ask for help and advice from our emergency services.

“As well as all this, we will also have officers from some of our local military regiments, who will be bringing along some of their equipment for you to try out.”

Chief Superintendent Darren Downs, of Humberside Police, said: "Most people know the work that the emergency services do but this is a chance to witness and experience it close up and a chance to engage with us and the other emergency services. People can also learn about careers. We are recruiting and the fire service have started to as well. It will be of interest to a lot of people."
